These folks have been in the antique business for ages, and they hold antique auctions every two weeks! With this kind of turnover, you are bound to find items that would make lovely additions to your home. Or, perhaps you could resell them on eBay or other online auctions.

The skys' the limit with Direct Auction Galleries. Oh, and you can browse their complete auction results online to help you price upcoming items.

The next time your are running low on camoflage vests or MRE's, I recommend you check out a military or army auction. The largest site for bidding on military and government surplus items govliquidation.com. Army, Navy, and Air Force surplus items are all feature on the site.

And if you've lost your taste for MRE's, Govliquidation can also be a place to find boats and marine gear at prices cheaper than Cabela's or West Marine. However, if the things you like have four wheels you might want to pick up a surplus Hummer. An army auction could be the best way to put that neighbor's H3 to shame!

Airline Auctions

If you are looking to save money on travel, then airline auctions may be for you. When supply for certain flights overwhelms capacity, airlines release these seats to consolidators and ticket brokers. The Internet version of these traditional bricks-and-mortar businesses is Priceline.com.

How can this work for you? Check your usual online travel sources first. Then shop Priceline after you've verified ticket prices. If you don't care which airline you fly, just name your own price to see if they can beat it.

The next time you are looking for a discount flight, an airline auction may be the only way to fly!
